The revenue breakdown is unclear, but I presume they will get a percentage. The cost was $2.5m. Unimaginative, I suppose. But building a structure there is very challenging, and would block off a lot of the area without creating an attractive atmosphere. This solution doesn't have to be...

Charlesgate Most of you are probably aware that there is an attempt to replace the Bowker Overpass, particularly by Charlesgate residents whether by grounding or other means. We can all agree that the area was very different when it was first developed. And more attractive as well. Source...

Next topic. Parking under I-93 / South End Maybe not the right topic for this post. But let's assume the alternative was some sort of alternative open space. Here's the idea. 435 spaces in total at the end of this year. And here's the parking, SoWa Vintage Market, the Mill Building and...

Fair enough. It's not an activity etc. that I am very familiar with. And it looks like the South End Baseball League uses Jim Rice Field, Peters Park quite actively. I guess I am not up on Saturdays at the baseball field very much. :)

Ok, just lost another post to the commenting system. So shorter version. I will post my extensive second day of park pics later. For now, I will use my trip as the basis to address the OP question and start with a controversial topic. On my tour on Sunday afternoon on Independence Day...

I appreciate your comment. I guess what I am trying to do is to put some context on a lot of the negativity that frequently comes up. It feels as if some people wanted the Greenway to be another Comm Ave. I think even as an objective this would be a mistake. More broadly I am saying that not...

And from the reverse with Hancock/Pru in the back.

It's nice that these buildings are aligned with the street. But let's not pretend there's any new urbanism here. Behind them the buildings are still swimming in a sea of parking. There's even another parking lot behind these that I couldn't get in the frame. I grant you these lots may be...

Looks like they are still placing precast piles here.

Back Bay Didn't make it to Common and Garden - but I am sure you know how well attended those are. I really don't think there's too much major that should be changed there. I even find the busking to generally be ok. The treasured Commonwealth Ave Mall - pretty busy considering. And it is...

The Esplanade Not super busy, perhaps everyone was already there on Thursday night. But a good turnout. Lots of boating, sailing, and kayaking. With further development, particularly on the Cambridge side, this could be an absolute crown. Programming, access, and infrastructure are probably the...

Continuing on, as I said Qunicy Hall and Haymarket were completely packed. The Holocoast Memorial was pretty busy. Again, not my favorite, but the shady linear park is a nice respite from the rest of the area. Tried to show business here, but trees have covered all the people. City...

From a different perspective.

Re: One Canal (formerly Greenway Center, Bullfinch Triangle) I gather this is the rebuilding of the ventilation building. A very odd structure indeed. Story deep transfer trusses front and back. Is this for louvres? why can't they run the ventilation around columns / bracing? Maybe...
